由承包商终止

如出现下列情况，承包商应有权终止合同：

（a） 承包商在根据第16.1款[承包商暂停工作的权利]的规定，就未能遵照第2.4款[雇主的资金安排]规定的事项发出通知后42天内，承包商仍未收到合理的证明；

（b） 在第14.7款[付款的时间安排]规定的付款时间到期后42天内，承包商仍未收到该期间的应付款额（按照第2.5款[雇主的索赔]规定的减少部分除外）；

（c） 雇主实质上未能根据合同规定履行其义务；

（d） 雇主未遵守第1.7款[权益转让]的规定；

（e） 如第8.11款[拖长的暂停]所述的拖长的停工影响了整个工程；或

（f） 雇主破产或无力偿债，停业清理，已有对其财产的接管令或管理令，与债权人达成和解，或为其债权人的利益在财产接管人、受托人或管理人的监督下营业，或采取了任何行动或发生任何事件（根据有关适用法律）具有与前述行动或事件相似的效果。

在上述任何时间或情况下，承包商可通知雇主14天后终止合同。但在（e）或（f）项情况下，承包商可发出通知立即终止合同。

承包商做出终止合同的选择，不应影响其根据合同或其他规定所享有的其他任何权利。

The Contractor shall be entitled to terminate the Contract if:

(a) the Contractor does not receive the reasonable evidence within 42 days after giving notice under Sub-Clause 16.1 [Contractor’s Entitlement to Suspend Work] in respect of a failure to comply with Sub-Clause 2.4 [Employer’s Financial Arrangements],

(b) the Contractor does not receive the amount due within 42 days after the expiry of the time stated in Sub-Clause 14.7 [Timing of Payments] within which payment is to be made (except for deductions in accordance with Sub-Clause 2.5 [Employer’s Claims]),

(c) the Employer substantially fails to perform his obligations under the Contract,

(d) the Employer fails to comply with Sub-Clause 1.7 [Assignment],

(e) a prolonged suspension affects the whole of the Works as described in Sub-Clause 8.11 [Prolonged Suspension], or

(f) the Employer becomes bankrupt or insolvent, goes into liquidation, has a receiving or administration order made against him, compounds with his creditors, or carries on business under a receiver, trustee or manager for the benefit of his creditors, or if any act is done or event occurs which (under applicable Laws) has a similar effect to any of these acts or events.

In any of these events or circumstances, the Contractor may, upon giving 14 days’ notice to the Employer, terminate the Contract. However, in the case of sub-paragraph (e) or (f), the Contractor may by notice terminate the Contract immediately.

The Contractor’s election to terminate the Contract shall not prejudice any other rights of the Contractor, under the Contract or otherwise.
